I have the same problem with a Sony Vaio FS640W laptop.  See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198998 .  I
reported this bug against the kernel and davej at redhat dot com
changed it to pm-utils.  I have no idea why.  Everything works fine on
2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 and fails on all kernels after that.

I have an Intel card:

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
    915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00
    [VGA])

I think the only relevant components here are the kernel and pm-utils.
The acpid doesn't participate in any suspend/wake stuff.  I'm not
using gnome-power-manager (KDE), but it only initiates the suspend and
relies on pm-utils to do the Right Thing.  I can successfully suspend
and wake (with display intact) only with the 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 kernel.
My pm-utils is the same (pm-utils-0.15-1).
